that is respectable.

The ii'-Tprossion that the-average veteran likes to sit around for a long
time before going to work, and has some
difficulty in adapting himself to civilian life is not borne out by the findings of a survey undertaken by the Veterans' AdSiinistration in several of the

going to work within k weeks after they
are roleascd from the service."
Brig, Con. .Frank T. Nines, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, emphasized
that this percentage was extremely high
